History edit

For the 2018 season, both of the Brothers Penrith teams in the Ron Massey Cup and Sydney Shield finished with the wooden spoon in their respective competitions with the Sydney Shield side winning only one game for the entire season.[2][3] At the end of the 2019 season, Brothers Penrith finished last in the Ron Massey Cup for a second consecutive season. The Sydney Shield side avoided the wooden spoon finishing second last above the Belrose Eagles.[4] On 4 September 2022, Brothers Penrith reached the 2022 Sydney Shield grand final but were defeated 36-12 by St Mary's.[5]
